Greatest displays of heart

[Phil]

The first that came to mind was Wayne McCullough against Scott Harrison, should have been stopped but imo proved McCullough's chin was the best ever.
others -
Lacy against Calzaghe
Micheal Gomez against Arthur and Khan, not so much against McDonagh

Argueably in the top 5 greatest display of heart:

"Locomotora" Castro vs. "Action" Jackson 1

Gives me chills...

Most recent I'll have to say Arreola vs. Vitali.

Going off the subject a bit but can someone tell me who is that gorgeous girl at the bottom of Cutmemicks posts and where can I find her

Whaaaaa?
You don't know who that is? Just kidding man...

That's my girl Gina Carano if you ever want to meet her let me know.
Just make a trip out here to LA.
We've been dating for a month now.

How the hell was that courageous?

Just a fat guy with limited talent jumping all over vitali in an attempt to catch him with a special punch and crying like a girl at the end.

Barring lennox lewis thats pretty much vitali klitschkos career in a nutshell isnt it??


Been done in a million times if you want hairs on the back of your neck courage entwined with flat out bravery look no further than your classics...gatti-ward, castillo-corrales, pryor-arguello etc

Courages because he kept coming forward and didn't give up.
He was getting his ass kicked but never stopped throwing punches.
He wanted to finish the fight and his corner pulled the plug.

The Vitaly stab and mention of Lennox pretty much takes away from what you had previously typed. Take off the Vitaly/Lennox bit you've actually typed a decent post.

Castro was taking a beating by Jackson.

A beating is an understatement...
He looked like he had been hit with a 4x4 across his face several times.

"Locomotora" Castro vs. "Action" Jackson 1

I remember this fight. Castro was just doing bad until that punch changed things around.

How about Genaro "Chicanito" Hernandez vs Azumah Nelson? Got that punch to the neck and could have call it quits and go to the scorecards. Yet, he decided to continue with the fight and won it.

although not as high profile, Sebastian Lujan for wanting to fight on while having his ear hanging off

Hagler-Hearns.

Hagler had a nasty cut in the 1st round and still didn't give a fuk and kept on coming forward and throwing bombs. The Hitman for having great heart going toe to toe with 1 of the top 3 middleweights of all time. Not to mentioned he broke his right hand and still went at it with Hagler, even when he was knocked down and still try to beat the count.

Diego Corrales - Down twice in the 10th againts Castillo. Againts a strong granite chinned champion. He was able to summon the strength to continue and win.

Evander Holyfield - Almost down in the 10th againts Bowe with spaghetti legs. Vander was able to turn the tide in the last minute. very few fighters can do that.


Gerry Penalosa - JML is Bigger, Younger and his last 3 opponents were kayoed in the 1st round. Gerry were landing a few but JML landed 3 times more. Roach stops it but gerry still wants to finish it. One of the best chin of all time.


Juan Manuel Marquez - Down 3 times and was able to salvage a draw. Big big heart.

Manny Pacquiao - Already psychologically beaten because the contract prohibits him to wear his beloved gloves againts Morales the 1st time. Got a huge cut with blood flowing above the eye from accidental headbut that was ruled "From a Punch" by afair and firm ref. Pacquiao would continue to engage and throw punches until the end.
